Ok, that doesn't sound so appetizing but boy is it liberating! My local scrapbook store (the only one still left in a 30 mile radius) is getting ready for their annual yard sale and I figured this was a good time to get rid of all those old supplies I've been hoarding. I wouldn't have thought my little scrap closet would hold so much, but I've been surprised, let me tell you!

So in celebration of getting rid of all this stuff, I thought I'd do a little giveaway. I'm taking a cue from my friend & fellow Kelly/i, Kelli Crowe, and doing a TOSGA (Thursday Old Stuff Give-Away) but on a Friday! I can't promise you what will be in it, but I can promise you I'll fill up a Flat Rate box with all the goodies I can shove in there. Some may be newer than others but it'll all be good!

So I'll give you to say Sunday Night at 11:59 EDT to leave me a little comment to be entered to win. I'll draw the winner Monday morning and your package will be on it's way!

This is too cool of an idea! Maybe it could start a chain reaction. If I win, I will load up a flat rate and do this for one of my readers. You know the rule, "bring something in and move something out".

How much fun is that. I always find a reason to get rid of some stuff so I don't feel as quilty when I am constantly adding more stuff into my stash. lol. I want to tell you I LOVE your blog and all of your work. I have been doing the monthly basic grey layouts as well. Thank you for such great inspiration all the time.I miss scrapbooking. I haven't gotten to do anything in about 2 weeks. I am getting married in 2 1/2 weeks and there is so much to be done I don't even have a chance to sit down at my desk. I can't wait until I do though. Have a great day.Nicole M.

Hi Kelly. I just started my 10 year old niece how to scrapbook an she would be so excited to receive a goodie box. My friends (8 of us) recently started this and it's been fun. Someone's old stuff is someone's new layout.

oh man i know what you about feeling liberated after a project like that..my kids' room is a project all on its own..but yet when it gts done...oh man its like breathing in fresh air when you got a stuffy nose!!

A group of friends that I scrap with contributes our no long wanted items to a basket. We can take anything we want from the basket, and after a while, if no one wants the basket item, we'll donate them to our local Boys & Girls Club. Nothing goes to waste!

One of these days I'm going to have to venture out to Memories a la Mode. Love the idea of cleaning out. I did that a while back and it really boosted my creativity. Therefore, since my area is purged, I could use a box of goodies! ;)

I just sold stuff at my LSS garage sale last month- did it make a dent- not even close, but it felt good, and I got store credit to purchase new stuff! WOOhoo! Of course, I also bought stuff at the garage sale. But it was still fun! Good luck!

Wow, what a great idea to get things cleaned out! I need to do that now since I am more then done organizing. I still have some spots to put stuf in somewhere. I got into CE again for my second time in a row(whoo-hoo) so I will be getting more goodies!thanks for the inspiring blog!P.s. I love your style, so hopefully i will win one time on one blog, in my one lifetime. LOL

This is a wonderful idea I live in Australia hope that is not too far and what you call old I will be over the moon with as all the wonderful supplies on see on you blog are gone so quick in our stores and then we have to wait months for another shipment to come into the shops. I will love anything you have as I we are on a very tight budget and I am working with what I have got at the moment. your your blog and thanks for the great ideas.

Thanks for the opportunity to win. This is a great idea for Spring Cleaning. All the scrappy stores in my area are closing too, so sad. If you ask my hubby, he would say I single handedly tried to support the scrappy stores cause during their economic demise.

What a wonderful thing to do!! I would be so excited if I were the winner of ur "stash" Being a Mom to a 2 yr old, I have limited my spending on myself.... and have the best scrapbooking subject,so something like this would be the best treat for me!! Take Care!

How very sweet of you! I wish I had enough stuff to do a purge RAK!! Being jobless right now, I can't afford to buy anything anymore, so anything new to me would be awesome!!! Thanks for a change at it, and good luck at the garage sale at the LSS!!

This is such a wonderful idea, I want to "forward" it. I'm going to make up a box of my goodies and use it as a RAK in my circle. Wow--what fun! What is more fun than receiving? Giving! Great idea--love it.
